3. Construction will begin this week to replace a "Red Listed' bridge on Route 101 where it crosses at Pulpit Brook. Roadwork will begin on Nov. 21, weather permitting, and starting Nov. 22 traffic will be rerouted "to one lane of alternating two-way traffic between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. from mile marker 46.4 to 47.4," New Hampshire Department of Transportation officials said.
